Whatever it is, our full-day trips give you the time to really soak it all in and experience the best of what Fajardo has to offer.
Blue Marlin: The heavyweight champion of our waters, Blue Marlin are the stuff of fishing legend. These massive billfish can top 1,000 pounds, though most we see are in the 200-400 pound range. They're known for their incredible aerial displays when hooked, often leaping clear of the water multiple times. Blue Marlin are a summer specialty here, with peak season running from June to October. Landing one of these beauties is a true bucket-list experience for any angler.
Atlantic Bonito: Don't let their size fool you - Bonito punch well above their weight class. These smaller cousins of the tuna family typically range from 5-15 pounds but fight like fish twice their size. They're fast, aggressive, and travel in schools, which means when you find them, the action can be non-stop. Bonito are great eating and make excellent bait for larger species. We see them year-round in Fajardo, but they're especially plentiful in the cooler months from November to April.
Mahi Mahi: Also known as Dorado or Dolphinfish, Mahi Mahi are as beautiful as they are delicious. Their electric blue and green colors make them a favorite among anglers, and their acrobatic fights are always a thrill. Mahi typically range from 15-30 pounds in our waters, though bigger bulls can push 50+ pounds. They're often found near floating debris or weed lines, and we target them year-round. Peak season is typically March through August when the water warms up.
Wahoo: If you're looking for speed, Wahoo is your fish. These streamlined predators are one of the fastest fish in the sea, capable of short bursts up to 60 mph. They're known for their blistering initial runs and their razor-sharp teeth that can slice through heavy leaders. Wahoo average 30-50 pounds in our area, but 100+ pounders aren't unheard of. We see them year-round, with the best action typically from November to May.
Great Barracuda: With their menacing teeth and lightning-fast attacks, Barracuda are always an exciting catch. These ambush predators can grow up to 6 feet long and weigh over 100 pounds, though most we encounter are in the 20-40 pound range. They're known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. Barracuda are a year-round target in Fajardo, often hanging around reefs and drop-offs. They're not typically eaten but provide great sport on light tackle.

Atlantic bonito are like mini tuna - streamlined, fast, and great eating. They typically run 5-12 pounds and love to school up, chasing bait near the surface. Look for them around Puerto Rico from spring through fall, especially where currents meet or near structure. Bonito put up a scrappy fight on light tackle, making quick runs and acrobatic jumps. Anglers enjoy their speed and the fact you can often catch multiples when you find a school. They're also excellent table fare, with firm, flavorful meat similar to tuna. To catch bonito, try trolling small lures or spoons at a good clip - these fish like it fast. My go-to trick is watching for birds diving on bait schools. That often leads you right to the bonito action. Just be ready to reel quickly once they hit!
Blue marlin are the giants of the billfish world, with females growing up to 16 feet and 1,800 pounds. You'll find them in the warm waters around Puerto Rico year-round, but peak season is summer through fall. These fish are built for speed and power, with a long, spear-like bill they use to stun prey. When hooked, they put on an amazing aerial show, leaping and tail-walking across the water. Anglers love the challenge of battling these ocean athletes. We usually troll with large lures or rigged baits like ballyhoo. My top tip: Watch for frigate birds - they often follow schools of tuna that marlin feed on. Be ready for a fight though. Even a "small" 300-pounder will test your stamina and gear. Bring heavy tackle and plenty of patience.
Great barracuda are the wolves of the reef, sleek predators growing up to 6 feet long. You'll find them year-round in Puerto Rico's shallow coastal waters, often lurking near reefs or structures. They're ambush hunters with a mouthful of sharp teeth, known for explosive strikes. Anglers love 'cudas for their aggressive hits and powerful fights, including some spectacular jumps. While not typically eaten, they're a blast to catch. We usually target them by trolling or casting lures near the surface. My best tip: use steel leaders. A 'cuda's teeth will make short work of regular line. When you hook one, keep it away from the boat - they've been known to jump right in! It's all part of the excitement of tangling with these toothy predators.
Mahi mahi are some of the most beautiful fish in the ocean, with electric blue, green, and gold colors. They're fast growers, usually 15-30 pounds around Puerto Rico, but can get up to 50+. You'll find them year-round here, but peak season is spring through summer. Look for floating debris or weed lines offshore - mahi love to hang around structure. They're aggressive feeders and put on an acrobatic show when hooked, with lots of jumps and runs. Anglers love mahi for their fight and their excellent eating quality. The meat is mild and firm, great for grilling or fish tacos. To catch them, try trolling with ballyhoo or colorful lures. My top tip: when you hook one, keep it in the water. Others in the school will often stick around, letting you catch multiples.
Wahoo are the speed demons of the ocean, streamlined torpedoes that can hit 60 mph in short bursts. They average 3-5 feet long but can grow over 8 feet and 180 pounds. Around Puerto Rico, your best shot at wahoo is fall through spring. Look for them near drop-offs and underwater structures in deep, blue water. Wahoo are prized for their blistering runs and acrobatic jumps when hooked. They're also excellent eating, with firm, white meat that's great for grilling or sashimi. To catch wahoo, we usually troll fast - 12-15 knots - with lures or rigged baits. My top tip: use wire leaders. Wahoo have razor-sharp teeth that'll slice through mono in a heartbeat. When you hook one, hang on tight and be ready for some smoking runs!
